#151 pix_film crashes with Apple Animation (runlength) videos

[sistisette]

pix_film crashes when loading png-encoded videos.
I encoded them with ffmpeg using -vcodec png.

I don't know which backend is being used for decoding the video files (how can I find out?) but lqtplay plays the same files without crashing (and Gem is linked against the same libquicktime as lqtplayed, at least that's what ldd says).

Sorry It's NOT PNG, it's Apple Animation codec (runlength). I was testing several videos and I got confused.

I edited the summary but I can't seem to edit the description.

The rest of the description is correct: lqtplay does not crash, Pd does.

could you provide a backtrace of the crash?

on linux/osx/similar you can use gdb for producing one:
$ gdb -args /path/to/pd -nrt -stderr -lib Gem -open /my/faulty/patch.pd
[...]
(gdb) run
[... do something to trigger the crasher bug ...]
(gdb) backtrace
[...]

could you please provide a (short) movie that triggers the problem?

also, please provide a backtrace of the crash,

more information is requried in order to fix this.
